NUTS for
LOBSTER
When I think of Georgia, I start craving lobster bisque. Yes, I know that Georgia is the Peach State, but as I have mentioned before… I have peach issues. Georgia conjures images of trips to Savannah with my mother for glorious lunches at the River House of Caesar salad made fresh at our table, rich and creamy lobster bisque, and a huge slice of pecan pies. You can’t touch that with peaches. So this next Call is over 250 miles from Savannah, but it is still Georgia. If you can’t find the bisque while at the opening, pecan pie can’t be far away…
